Welcome to our eighth December Festival and the fireside and mulled wine intimacy of Advent in Hay. Please join us to hang out with friends, laugh fit to burst, and to enjoy the finest stories, ideas, food and company.
It’s a particular pleasure this year to headline the festival with our most local stars Jenny Valentine, Chris Hunter, Elizabeth Bryan, Rob Penn and Antony Woodward.
BOOKS
The events take place at V4 (the Community Centre), the Parish Hall and the Swan Hotel. All the writers here are compelling and entertaining. Their books will also make perfect Christmas gifts. Our wonderful bookseller, Pembertons, can provide autographed copies for you if you are unable to come in person. Please call Diana Blunt on 01497 820159 to arrange.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Festival-goers will be most welcome for Hay’s Christmas Happy Hour on Saturday night. Participating shops will be offering discounts, drinks and Christmas cheer from 7-8pm. Full listing below.
Thank you to everyone who has worked and played to make this weekend happen. Happy feasting and fun.
